What a bizarre construction! I know cotton prices are going up and all, but that's just odd!<br /> I also don't get the hose and tights with a seam down the back of the leg. WHY???<br /> Isn't it fun up here on our joint soapbox, Inkstainedwriter? Can I call you inky? :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-rant-because-clothes-are-more#post-349459 Sat, 14 May 2011 00:06:24 +0000 inkstainedwriter 349459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done quite a bit of shopping in the last two weeks and I'm starting to see more of a huge pet peeve of mine: t-shirts with a seam down the back. </p> <p>I used to work at J Crew and we used to sell some. People didn't seem to mind (maybe because of the brand), but it bugged me. It looks cheap to me and I find it irritating to have a seam down my back. I even found some in some higher end stores and was shocked at the prices. </p> <p>The best I can figure out is that manufacturers are able to use more selvage in two back pieces when they're made this way and thus save on cost. How much fabric can a back of t-shirt use? </p> <p>Whew. I'm done. :-p </p>
